Information Systems, Data Management, Health Record

Definition : Information systems designed to record, process, and display patient electronic health records at a healthcare facility level (i.e., a longitudinal record); aggregating patient data from various departmental systems. These systems consist of hardware, including computerized workstations and peripheral devices such as high-capacity storage devices and printers, and software packages. The systems are intended to automate the retrieval and review of clinical information, ordering, planning care, and documentation; they may also include decision support capabilities, drug databases, safety features (e.g., medication administration warnings), and the ability to capture practitioner's notes in several formats from various departmental electronic medical records. Health record information systems are intended to provide unified records for patients, including activities performed in physician offices, hospital departments, and in other healthcare facilities; they may function as stand-alone systems or may be integrated in hospitalwide data management information system network.

Information on how to use Search

There are 2 types of basic queries: Terms and Phrases.
A Term is a single word search.
A Phrase would wrap a string of words in quotes and find matches on the extact string.

Boolean OperatorsYou can combine basic queries with Boolean operators to form a more complex query. Boolean operators define the relationships between Terms or Phrases. Our search supports the following Boolean operators: AND, "+", OR, NOT and "-". Please note that Boolean operators must be all uppercase.

ANDexample search: default AND document
This is the default operator. It will be used if there is no Boolean operator between two terms. For example:
default document is the same as default AND document. In this case both terms need to exist within a listing to find a match on that listing.The + character is synonymous with using AND.

ORexample search: default OR document
In this case just one of the terms needs to exist within a listing to find a match on that listing.

NOTexample search: default NOT "document type"
The NOT operator excludes documents that contain the term (or phrase) after NOT. So a listing match would have to include the word default but not the phrase "document type". The - character is synonymous with using NOT.

Wildcard/Prefix queriesYou can perform "wildcard" or "prefix" queries using the '*' operator. Whereas all of the previous search found exact matches on the whole term or phrase, a wildcard search will find partial matches.
example search: ehr*
This query will match all documents containing words beginning with the prefix 'ehr' like the word Ehrlichia.
